Chapter 891
Chapter 892
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that Grandma May and Zachary had deceived her. The man she believed to be an ordinary salaryman turned out to be the eldest son of the York family.
A plot that could only be found in novels was unfolding in real life, leaving Serenity utterly stunned.
Caught off guard, she felt uncertain about what to do next. She couldn’t leave, yet she couldn’t proceed either, which left her feeling extremely conflicted.
Replicating her aunt’s path seemed nearly impossible. Times had been better when her aunt was young; she could rise as long as she seized opportunities.
However, things were drastically different now.
Serenity understood the importance of self-improvement for women. She had never intended to depend on a man for the rest of her life. From her sister’s marriage, she learned that one should be wary of men who make promises like “I’ll support you,” as their attitudes can change at any moment.
A group of men in suits anxiously gathered around someone as they entered the room.
Their presence snapped Serenity back to reality.
The two women couldn’t help but glance over.
Elisa initially thought it was Zachary, but upon seeing the surrounded man, she blinked and murmured, “Why is he here p>
She hadn’t expected to encounter him at the hospital.
Serenity turned to her and asked, “Do you know them p>
“I only recognize one of them. The rest are his bodyguards, so I don’t know their names,” Elisa replied.
“Who is he?” Serenity inquired, intrigued.
Elisa answered, “He’s also a big player in the business world. He appears gentle, but he’s incredibly ruthless in reality p>
Serenity was left speechless. ‘Couldn’t you just say his name p>
“He has a significant business partnership p>
You are married to a man from FC & Co. in Annenburg. I previously mentioned his family, the Johnsons, who are comparable to the Yorks. He is the fifth son in his family and the younger brother of the current head of the Johnson family.
“Like Zachary, he travels in style. While Zachary brings a group of bodyguards to fend off admirers like me, Remy Johnson does so for his own safety, as he isn’t very skilled in self-defense p>
Serenity blinked; it seemed that Elisa was quite taken with Remy.
Remy Johnson. That name rang a bell. Zachary had mentioned him before, noting that Remy was also a man deserving of a lifelong commitment. However, Annenburg is quite a distance from Wiltspoon.
When Zachary tried to pair Jasmine and Josh but saw no progress, he mentioned he would also introduce Remy to Jasmine. He was concerned that Jasmine might be hesitant to marry someone so far away. Additionally, the Johnsons were a powerful family, which could make Jasmine less inclined to join such a family.
After that, the topic never resurfaced.
“Men like them, who run large companies and navigate the business world adeptly, can have a ruthless side. Don’t be deceived by his gentle demeanor. My eldest brother has a high regard for the men of the Johnson family.
“They are easy to converse with if you don’t provoke them, and they don’t act superior like many from wealthy families do. Even the head of their family maintains a low profile and lives like an ordinary person. However, if you anger them, you might find yourself in serious trouble without even realizing how it happened p>
